2. RECTANGULAR CROP

Grab one of the handles - the one on the right side of the crop grid -



and drag it out past the Arts Science Centre (white building looks like a lotus flower)



Click one of the Apply Ticks

3. ANGLED CROP

Grab the end of the long handle in the centre - this will turn the image around.



Turn the image roughly to a 45degree angle and then crop a rectangular shape.
Do be careful your crop grid does not go outside of the image - Check the corners close to the edge of the image.
See where I circled in Red - this is where you need to check.
